Brian Pastermack Named CCIW Offensive Player of the Week

Wheaton,

Ill. (9/20) - Wheaton College (Ill.) junior Brian

Pastermack (Merritt Island, Fla./Merritt Island) has been named the College

Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin's Offensive Player of the Week for his

efforts last Saturday in Wheaton's 42-3 win at Anderson University (Ind.). The

Crusaders' halfback had four rushing touchdowns with 144-yards gained on the

ground on 16 carries for a 9-yards per carry average. By halftime of the contest

he already had four touchdowns, 142 yards on 11 carries for a 12.9 yards per

carry average. Pastermack finished the game one touchdown shy of the Crusaders'

single-game record of five in a game. That record was set by Chuck Schoenherr

against Lake Forest on November 22, 1947.

Pastermack

currently leads the CCIW in scoring with 30 points. He also leads the league

in rushing with 203 yards in the Crusaders' two games this season. The talented

junior is averaging 101.5 yards per game and 6.3 yards per carry for Wheaton.

Pastermack is also seventh in the conference in total offense with 203 yards.

He trails the Crusaders' quarterback Mitch Slater (McHenry, Ill./McHenry)

who leads the CCIW in total offense with 373 total yards in two games.

Wheaton is

now 2-0 on the season and will open conference play on October 2 when they play

at North Central College in the annual Little Brass Bell Game. Kickoff is slated

for 6:00 PM in Naperville.
